Lelepa Island: Beachside BBQ Feast with Local Ni-Vanuatu Community

Share a lavish open-fire BBQ on a deserted white-sand beach with the Ni-Vanuatu custodians of Lelepa — fresh-caught fish, tropical fruit, and stories that bring this ancient island culture vividly to life.

What to expect

After a morning of adventure, the beach transforms into an open-air dining room where the scent of wood smoke mingles with salt air. The BBQ spread features fresh seafood, tropical salads, and locally grown produce, served with cold drinks in the shade of palm trees. Community members join guests, sharing songs, stories, and the meaning of kastom (custom) in Vanuatu life. It is an unhurried, convivial feast that feels entirely personal and deeply memorable.
